He smelt her before he saw her. The enticing aroma of her Euphoria perfume that he had given to her the previous year for her birthday, coupled with her alluring natural scent, travelled down the hallway from her bedroom and greeted him warmly at the dinner table where he sat enjoying the breakfast she had made for him. He paused before taking another bite into his bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and looked up expectantly as she made her way from her room to the kitchen.
Edward completely understood the fact that Erica was his daughter, and it was morally, socially and traditionally wrong to be thinking about her the way that he had, and as an attorney, he could quote every piece of legislation in his jurisdiction which spoke against incest, but it was an undeniable fact that she was stunningly beautiful and desirable in every way imaginable, making him want her in a way that he had not longed for any woman in years. He constantly reprimanded himself by reminding himself that he was married to Erica's mother, and it was she who he desired; however, he knew that this was nothing but a lie. Ever since his wife Jennifer had accepted a promotion at her job and was required to spend more time abroad than she spent at home, Edward had found himself becoming less and less attracted to her.
From the time Erica assumed housewife duties by cooking, cleaning and taking care of him, he had realised that she was beginning to unknowingly tug on his heart and pull it towards her direction. He tried to ignore his desire for her by becoming more involved at work and taking on more clients and cases, but as soon as he thought things were becoming better; his daughter had passed the bar and was looking for a job. Tons of applications later, she had landed herself at the law firm where he worked. He had already known that she was beautiful and extremely intelligent, but seeing her in the work setting with the professionalism that she exudes, and being even more aware of her competence and her aptitude by which she handles her clients and cases, he became tempted more and more to break the law.
Just then, Erica emerged in the doorway and as usual she did not disappoint. Edward's eyes quickly examined her curvaceous body which was accentuated by her work clothes. He noticed the way her black pencil knee-length skirt hugged her hips and revealed the secret of her well shaped behind. The behind that he was so often tempted to touch. Not only to touch, but to grab as he pulled her closer to him while they made love. The red tank top she wore tucked into her skirt left little secrets about the fullness of her breast unanswered.
"Are you enjoying your breakfast?" she asked as she took a seat at the side of the table; at a right angle from where he sat, and raising her skirt slightly, pulled one leg up, and then the other so that she could comfortably put on her black stilettos.
"Yes darling," he replied as he failed in his attempt to keep his eyes away from her. From the position they were both in, he could only receive a hint of her white underwear as she pulled on her shoes. However, that hint was enough to awaken arousal within him, and to increase his desire for more.
"I'm sorry I'm not able to eat with you." She hurriedly jumped to her feet and grabbed her matching black jacket from the back of the chair and slid her arms in. "I have to go."
"But why?" Edward checked his watch. "You're almost an hour early. Aren't you going to wait on me so we can go together?"
"I wish I could, but I really need to start going." She took up her brief case and turned away, giving him a full view of her round behind.
She had absolutely no idea how badly he wanted to bend her over the dining room table, hoist her skirt, remove her underwear and fuck her brains out. He would spank and grab her ass as she screamed "daddy".
"Honey, come back here". He fought to keep his voice calm. "Sit down."
"I can't," she hardly even turned around. "It's the Smith's case..."
"I don't care," he stood to his feet and guided her back to the table. "You hardly ever take time for yourself. Everyday you're working on that damn case. You need to relax."
"But daddy!" she yelled defiantly. "Right now I don't care about relaxing. I have the strangest feeling that I am doing something wrong and I need to do some more research!"
"I don't care," he said simply to prod at her anger. "Sit down!"
"Will you ever listen to me?" She continued stubbornly. "I told you that I need to go..."
The rest of her words trailed off in his mind. He watched her with a peak in his interest and desire. She had always been so stubborn, but he loved it. He thought it made her even more attractive, and he was tempted to grab her and kiss her passionately and silence her.
"You're beautiful," He whispered as he stared into her fury filled eyes.
"What?" She said a little more quietly as the fury began to visibly dissipate.
"You're beautiful," he repeated. "I love you."
"Uhh," she looked surprised. "I... love... you too, dad?" Her statement curved into a question as her anger was replaced with confusion.
He knew that she had no idea of how he meant it, but he decided to leave it at that. The feeling was scaring even him, but he seriously felt as if he was feeling something more for her... Something more than he should be feeling for a daughter. He could not distinguish whether it was an emotional desire or simply a sexual thirst for her which he needed quenched, but he wanted to find out, even though he had no idea how to.
"I just don't want you to be worrying yourself too much," he decided to say. "Just relax for me, please?"
"I will," she reassured him and then she turned to walk away.
He watched her as she walked through the door, admiring her ass and her walk as she did so. They are so many things a man can tell from a female's walk and the way she carries herself. He could tell that she has never been made love too properly, or in the way she deserves to be. He noticed that she had never encountered a man who really took the time to appreciate her body. It was not before she disappeared at the other side of the door that he finished his breakfast before getting ready for work.
He had decided that it was only by taking it slowly and by luring her towards him that he would get close to what he wanted. It did not take a genius or past experiences to tell him that it is almost impossible to grab his daughter's attention by doing the same exact things he would do for any other girl. Almost anything he does would probably scare her away, or turn the law against him, and that was the last thing he needed. How would it look; an attorney at law being arrested for sexually assaulting his daughter?! He most definitely could not have that happening. This means that he would have to try much harder. With just a few things in mind, Edward decided to start working on it that very evening.
After an extremely long day in which he was unknowingly tempted and excited by his daughter, as he watched her around the office studiously and intently looking through her files, flicking back her hair which she always wore hanging loose, or walking skilfully in her heels with her hips seductively swaying as she entered and exited offices, or even bending to the file cabinet as she retrieved some information to help her with her case, he was ready to have his problem solved. He had it all planned out, but even though he was known for being good at planning things and often thanked by the success of the events, he was extremely nervous because he was completely unsure to how this one would turn out.
"I want to take care of you tonight," He told Erica as they entered the house. "I don't think you take care of yourself well enough, so let me. You really need to relax."
"And how exactly do you plan on doing this, dad?" She stopped walking and looked him directly in the eye.
"After dinner we're going to watch a movie, or maybe talk. I know a lot of stuff must be bothering you." He was having difficulties looking her back in the eye especially knowing exactly what his intentions were, so he played it off by keeping himself busy by taking off his jacket and shoes.
"Ok, well, I guess a movie and conversation it is then," she said as she walked away.
As it turned out, there was no movie which Erica was interested in so they decided to simply sit and talk. Pouring two glasses of red wine, Edward took a seat beside his daughter and handed her a glass.
"So tell me about your day," he began. "I know you encountered another concrete wall in the case."
"Yes," she began and then sipped her wine. "Just when I believed that we were going to get a breakthrough in the case, the other guy brought in a report from a psychologist diagnosing him with some mental condition of the sort! I mean what am I suppose to do now? I have been working on this so long!"
Edward sat there in silence simply listening to Erica as she rambled on about her job. Taking her free hand in his, he held it there for a while as he watched her go on and on about her day. Then, he slid his fingers to the inner side of her wrist and gently stroked his middle three fingers along it, being careful to keep the stroking in one direction. He continued to watch her and noticed as she subconsciously leaned a little closer to him and presented more of her hand to him. Taking this as a welcoming sign, Edward gently slid his fingers further up her arm and continued the soft caressing.
"But you don't understand," she started to raise her voice slightly as she rested her head on his shoulder. "I need to do this right, there's a child caught up in the middle..."
